'I'M NO MONSTER'

HORROR FIND

The farm boasts good soil for growing combinable crops and higher value root crops such as potatoes.

Its buildings of brick and slate offer grain storage and scope for alternative uses.

It is currently run by a tenant farmer but their contract comes to an end in September so it could be bought by someone who wants to farm the land themselves, or a wealthy businessman who is happy to let out the land.

Tim Fagan from Strutt & Parker said: “It’s a very nice farm, and they are rarely available on the market these days as once farms are bought they stay in families for generations.

“So we have got a bit of excitement surrounding this. It’s in a really good ‘salt-of-the-earth’ area.

“It has appeal to a real cross-section of people. I’ve shown around several farmers and also several businessmen who would like to make the house and buildings a base that are considering purchasing the land as well.

“The house is in reasonable condition, it has been let out over the years, but it could probably benefit from some renovation.
